LSU Football is a buzzkill. Just ask the 50,000 people that clear out of Tiger stadium at half time.

I was in the stands from 1980 until 2001. I remember getting skull drug by spurrier every year except one. Even if we kept it close, it felt great because we played to our full potential. There were a lot of highs (FL 97) and lows (Miami of Ohio and UAB) but I was always excited for the next week even during shitty years. I can still smell the burning rebel flags when we beat ole miss.

I remember waiting for the schedule to come out every year. I would go over to my grand pa's house (God rest his soul) and we would predict what would happen for each game. Man, I couldn't wait for that schedule. We would talk football for hours. Those were great times but I guess you can only grow up once.

This year has had the stink of a death march on it . Hate to say it, because it turned out to be a really good team, but there it is.

The whole offseason had the 1/9 hangover, and then HB7's season goes up in smoke. From that point, this team, which was supposed to be better than '11 never really put it all together. "Mettsaiah" really wasn't much better than the two-headed dumpster fire we had last year in regards of carrying the team. The injuries just kept coming. In about half the games, the defense was painfully exposed (even in games we won). And the bad "Mad Hatter" showed up at some very inopportune times. Put it all together, we never really knew what team was going to show up each week.

They were good enough to demand our loyalty and attention (unlike the 90's dark ages), but weren't good enough to reward us with the fun of 2011. I'm looking forward to 2013.
